The Law and You

What happens at the first meeting with a lawyer?

  • You will discuss your case or your legal needs with the lawyer.
  • The lawyer may have to look at several options for your legal work and have to get back to you.
  • You should also discuss fee arrangements.
  • Some lawyers do not charge for the first meeting or offer a reduced rate.
  • Check about this when you make your first appointment.
